Weekend Trip to Happy Valley, Neuve Qld

A beautiful camp site on a working farm. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. Beautiful little hut next to a dam that had a big family of ducks living in it. Easy access, which can be accessed by any car. Ripper spot to spend a couple of nights away switching off from the world. Definitely recommend!

Michael is such a welcoming host. Lots of room to camp anywhere. We chose the high ground with the view. The perfect place to view the stars and planets with a big telescope. Close to Crowns Nest, Blackbutt, Maidenwell and Kingaroy. A very quiet and secluded spot he has. Planning has started for the next trip when the weather is clearer.
